Apartments to which men alone had access were called an-
drones and andronitides; those the women only frequented
were called gynsecia or gynaeconitides; those for strangers,
hospitalia ; for winter, hibernacula. Among the Romans an-
drones had another signincation, of which hereafter.

transaclions in public offices. The modern name for these
records is archives, and sontetim.es storehouses; which is a
general term according to Ilidorus, for all places where the
